Use "regular" amp to power 'phones?


Is it OK to use a "regular" power amp to power headphones? If so, how? If not, why?

I realize that most amps are expecting to see a load around 4 to 8 ohms and most headphones would present a load of around 600 ohms. I also realize it would be silly to connect a Crown Macro Reference to headphones (perhaps to anything), but I'd explore small tube amps, perhaps SET.

I do the same with my sennheiser 580s. sounds great. as long as you don't want it super loud.
